That hasn't come.Now thats quite a lot of money across all councils!Take it one step further and you could do as they have in Germany and embrace open source. 66% savings is not to be sniffed it in these supposedly frugal times.But wait, that would require someone in charge to have a fucking clue in the first place and the hordes of M$-certificate waving IT staff to learn a little bit more (not a lot, the principles are the same, they're just implemented slightly differently).

Meh. Not news. I seem much more clever when I've got a search engine in front of me too.
Watson's memory is loaded with 200 million pages of data, and draws solely on this "brain", rather than searching online.
